Surprised that this is not a more pressing issue, higher resolutions start rolling out on high end laptops all over and Unity is not fit for fight here. I just got a 3200x1800 13.3" laptop and using Unity on this screen is not for the faint of heart. Sure I could scale everything with xrandr but that is just an ugly workaround. Hope to see some fast improvement in this area, make Ubuntu ready for high end as well.

Most things scale properly except Unity. Most of Unity's fonts scale correctly, but elements like the launcher, tooltips, and panel don't grow like they should. I'm not sure if bumping the Gnome font size like this is the right approach or we should be doing something more like: xrandr --dpi ...
